Ive got the stock radio, and the XpressEZ from XM. Currently its running through the cassette but quality is really bugging me now. Is there a way I can have it routed in better or just make it sound better?? Mabye even a way to run XM with my stock radio??

I'm not 100% sure. The 06-07s have it in dash stock.

you can install an aux input adapter. crutchfield has one for $70.00. you will also need a patch cable to go from rca to the mini jack into your xm. I use this setup to run my sirrius. you will need to pull the radio out and hook up the supplied wire harness. the p.i.e unit unit comes with very detailed instuctions.sound goes thru your cd same as adding a cd changer.

That is an excellent idea. Do you have a link to the product page for Enzo?

Ok nice. Will I be able to use my steering wheel controls with it?? If I cant I think ill find a wrecked 04 or newer one with XM built in a take that. Im just sick of the wires and having to lean over to click then it moves gets annoying.

you will not lose any steering controls. if your'e radio has a button marked "band" at the lower left then if your'e on radio then push band and it will switch to the aux input adpter. if you are using the aux and put in a cd then the cd will override the aux and cd will play. I hate to admit this but I don't know how to create a direct link. go to crutchfield.com and click on outfit my car and enter info such as year and model and look up aux input adapter. on that page is a very detailed explanation of how they work. you could also google. precision interface electronics "p.i.e" is what they carry I've read that another company called PAC has a really good unit also. after install I tucked mine under the console at the front and I can get to it easy if I have too.
